Created in the summer of 2009, St. Croix Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is comprised of burgeoning youth leaders from St. Croix’s public and private high schools who have been introduced to the world of philanthropy and charitable giving through targeted instructional curriculum. YAC students are also being guided to make meaningful changes that impact their community (specifically youth) in innovative and sustainable ways.
For the past two months the Council has been disseminating a survey which they created entitled, “Answers for Change”. This survey is intended to generate data from 7th- 12th graders in public and private schools on St. Croix. Survey questions address issues facing youth in both their personal lives and the quality of education they are receiving. Once tabulated, the survey results will be shared with the Community at a upcoming Youth Forum.
